For someone who has two identical tape drives, is there a reason why dd
wouldn't work?

I've tried to see where the problem(s) lie, so I ran a tcpdmatch
on each machine...
when I try to test the bacula client, I get this from the server...
lamb# tcpdmatch ami-fd ami.mydomain.com
warning: ami-fd: no such process name in /etc/inetd.conf
client: hostname ns.mydomain.com
client: address x.x.x.x (IP address)
server: process ami-fd
matched: /etc/hosts.allow line 23
option: allow
access: granted
when I try to test the bacula server from the client, I get
ami# tcpdmatch lamb-fd lamb.mydomain.com
warning: lamb-fd: no such process name in /etc/inetd.conf
warning: host address x.x.x.x->name lookup failed (where x.x.x.x is
lamb.mydomain.com's IP)
client: address x.x.x.x
server: process lamb-fd

I guess it's a BSD thing. You can read about it by searching for
'tcopy' here:

I don't understand why that is a problem.

Still likely to be slow because it doesn't (AFAIK) do buffering between
the tape drives.

I think that is some *very* old documentation. If you give me an exact
reference, I'll either remove it or bring it up to date.
The parallelism is multiple simultaneous jobs, and it is controlled in
each daemon as well as quite a number of places in the Director's
configuration -- it gives you fine control, but complicates multiple
simultaneous jobs a bit too much for my liking.

The unsaved files are as you say related to idiot Windows programming.
However, the Bacula crash came from SQLite on the server.
St Bernard apparently works with Bacula from what I have heard, but it
costs ...

Hi,
I've gone through the install process for bacula on FreeBSD, and
it's backing up and restoring just fine.
I now want to add a client to a second FreeBSD system, and followed
the steps there, added the needed definitions to the server's -dir file
and can't seem to connect.
Whenever I run a
*status all
in the console, it says it can't connect to amilux-fd (the machine to
be backed up - a simple web/mail server).
If I try testing the 9102 port through telnet, I can connect, but I get
a "packet size too big" error. This suggests that the problem isn't
bacula, but I'm not sure where to look exactly.
Thanks in advance,
Doug

Just going through the docs, finishing up the roadmap, and noticed the
'resource' of parallelism and capabilities. Is that a seperate resource, or
does it fall under the device resource?
Thanks!

I'm not an expert in tape copy programs, nor do I know what tcopy is,
but it is likely that you will run into problems with any tape copy
program unless you wrote only a single Bacula Volume and did not
completely fill it. If ever you write a new tape and it is not long
enough to hold all the data on the first tape, which is quite possible
because Bacula fills the tape completely, the results are not likely to
be very satisfactory.
You can use bcopy to copy from one tape to another -- though I have
never tried it since I didn't have two drives until very recently. It is
likely to be slow because it reads one record at a time, but at least it
should do it in a way that can later be read by Bacula.

Looks like there's an issue with backing up open files on Windows machines,
with the directory only being able to handle so many open file error
messages. Have you tried using St Bernard to handle the backing up of open
files on Windows machines??

Hi Kern et al.
Running stock 1.32f-4 (24 Jan 2004) on slackware 9.1 backup server (kernel
2.4.25)
Database: sqlite
Media: Disk, setup to max vol size 2GB
Client: Windows XP SP1 running 1.32f-4 (native)
Backup of the C:\ drive ran OK till about 8 GB then director cored.
Attached is the traceback from bacula and bacula-dir.conf
I couldn't find the actual core file - where would that be ?
From bacula mess output after restarting deamon:

From reading the backtrace, my impression was the sqlite code, but I'm not

necessary.

I suspect that you did not carefully look at the heading of the list and
the restore job is in the "Terminated Jobs:" list. If this is not the
case, you will need to supply some output listing of the problem as well
as your bacula-dir.conf file.

This is because I left a debug message turned on. I have now turned it
off. This often happens in beta releases since I normally only do a
witch hunt for debug messages inadvertently left on before an official
release. Sorry, but it nothing to worry about.
